What to study

Range as a single painted path: instead of tinting every reachable tile, the game draws one continuous orange route through the fortress, so the eye follows the unit's actual approach rather than scanning a shaded region. The highlight reads against both sand and shadow, which matters on a map this busy. Frame at about 0:30 in the Announcement Trailer (Steam).
